2 Boxes of Allen & Ginter... 1/1!
I went down to my LCS today not really intending to open anything, but I brought a couple of cards to show off to the owner, and he liked them so much he traded me a pair of boxes of Allen & Ginter. When I opened them, I got:
Fashionable Ladies Mini "The Ingenue"
Bobby Abreu Relic
Casey McGehee Relic
Ubaldo Jimenez Relic
Adam Lind Relic
JP Arencibia Autograph
And in the very last pack I opened, I pulled the very first 1/1 I've ever pulled for myself from a pack (I do own a couple 1/1s but I bought/traded for them)!
Carlos Marmol 1/1 Framed Mini Cyan Printing Plate
I am stoked to have finally pulled a 1/1!!!

Wow, congrats!
My LCS trades for product too, but they always try to get me to go for singles.

Thanks, guys. I traded a Griffey silk I pulled for 2 boxes of product and some store credit.

nice pull. I bring cards to my LCS to trade all the time. But I have never thought of trading for a box.... I will try that next time. Usually I just give him 200 or so Base / Inserts of big name players ($200 BV) for 1 or 2 nice cards ($40 BV)
Always looking for more Dodgers, Raiders, Kobe, and USC Trojans.

Thanks, y'all! Only way that box would have been nicer for me is if I'd gotten a Dbacks plate instead of a Cubbies plate!
